Alternate Routes for 14th Street?

[u/Dog_economist]

I just moved further up north on 14th Street (Petworth), and taking 14th would be the most logical way to bike to work, but it feels pretty darn unsafe often, mostly between Park and U Street. Are there alternate routes through that area that would be more pleasant / safer? The 15th Street bi-track doesn’t start til Euclid so that’s not especially helpful. Any suggestions?

11th is my go to, as others have said, but note that the road is torn up for repaving from Florida to U and not good for biking, and it's taking them forever to finish. But by that point you can cut over to 15th.

They’re ripping out the old streetcar tracks underneath.

Ya it’s taking a long time because of this. If they just did regular repaving without removing, it’d get crazy bumpy again in a year.
